Megan's Picks

Bringing Down the House is the intense, entertaining tale of the original MIT blackjack team that learned to count cards and made millions in Las Vegas, all under the ever-watchful eyes of the casino managers and pit bosses. A quick read, this book keeps up the action throughout and the ending does not disappoint. You see the dark side of the security in Las Vegas and in other casinos around the world, and the less glamorous side of Las Vegas is revealed through the team's escapades. Overall, an intense, inspiring book. You will want to break out the cards and chips as soon as you finish!
